The actor answers your questions on his exercise regime, what he thinks of the AI John Lennon and which roles have changed him
How do you keep yourself so springy? I’d love to know more about whatever it is that has made you so physically capable. BerniceTheCat
As a kid, I did a lot of gymnastics and dance. That sort of physical movement is something I really enjoy, especially when you can apply that foundation into something like this [Kraven the Hunter], where there’s a lot of action and stunts. We wanted Kraven to have a signature style that was kind of animalistic, with a bit of fluidity. So we did a lot of things like quadrupeds (going on all fours), parkour, gymnastics, so it was like nothing you’d ever seen before. It was exciting to have that level of detail within the action. I gained about 40lb (18kg) of muscle – I ended up weighing about 200lb.
I loved you as John Lennon in Nowhere Boy. What did you think of Paul McCartney getting the old band back together in AI form? Lott49
Yeah, it was incredible that the record [Now and Then] came out. I got to see Paul McCartney at Glastonbury and it was so haunting seeing him play I’ve Got a Feeling with Lennon. It was like bringing Lennon back from the dead. It was only the one song, but I could have watched a whole night of that. So moving. Lennon really was just something new. He spoke his mind and lived in a free-spirited way; there was a lot of truth and genuineness that he was trying to share.
